Leading up to Thursday’s NFL draft, we’ll put on our oddsmaking hats, Ace Rothstein glasses and Terry Benedict suits and set one proposition “bet” per day for PFT Planet to ponder. At the conclusion of the draft, we’ll see how PFT Planet did on the wagers, which are for entertainment purposes only.
Here’s today’s prop:
PFT Draft Prop No. 5: Number of pick first traded in Round One: Over-Under 3.5.
In each of the last three years, at least one club selecting in the top five has dealt its pick:
— In 2012, the Browns traded up from No. 4 to No. 3 with Minnesota for running back Trent Richardson.
— In 2013, the Dolphins moved up from No. 12 to No. 3 with Oakland for defensive end Dion Jordan.
— In 2014, the Bills traded from No. 9 to No. 4 with Cleveland to select wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
Entering the 2015 draft, a good deal of trade intrigue surrounds the top five. Will Tennessee (No. 2) hold onto its pick? And what about Jacksonville, Oakland and Washington at picks Nos. 3-5? According to Jason La Canfora of CBS, the Jaguars, Raiders and Washington are not opposed to moving down from their spots.
Hence, we’ve set the Over-Under on the highest pick traded in Round One at 3.5. Pick a side in the poll, and give your trade takes in the comments.
